At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, Zhao Ran looked up, the beautiful peaks were stacked one after another, and there were faint Taoist palaces among them.

Next to the path into the mountain, you can see itinerant merchants and vendors carrying burdens and carts everywhere bargaining with tourists, and there is a tea shop and wine shop not far away, which is also full of tourists from all over the world.

Zhao Ran knew that this was because Qingcheng Mountain was too famous, this cave blessed land, ranked fifth in the world, had been attracting countless people to come to see the true face for thousands of years, some were pure admirers, some were curious, and there were many people who sought immortals. Of course, in addition, there is also the reason for the Xuanyuan Temple, the highest Taoist temple in the jungle of the ten directions of Sichuan Province stands in the Qingcheng Mountain, so that the flow of people under the Qingcheng Mountain is like weaving.

Speaking of which, he still has acquaintances in the Xuanyuan Temple, and there is more than one. One of them is Song Zhiyuan, the former supervisor of Wuji Academy, who is now serving as the head of the dormitory in Xuanyuan Temple, and there is also Zhao Zhixing, who used to be a guest of Wuji Academy, and I don't know what Zhao Zhixing is doing now after returning to Wuji Academy.

Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment, but finally did not follow the mountain path into the mountain. Xuanyuan Guan can go anywhere, but the summons of the Jade Emperor Pavilion can't be slack, not to mention the issue of his cultivation.

Two days ago, the communication between Jiang Tenghe and the Jade Emperor Pavilion finally had a result, the meaning of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, summoning Zhao Ran is a confidential matter, and it is not easy to disclose it at will, so Jiang Tenghe does not know what to do. However, according to Jiang Tenghe's thoughts, Zhao Ran still had a good trip, after all, the essence blood of the Xuanjia Turtle was a real benefit. Of course, Jiang Tenghe also made some advice, if the trip did not go well, let Zhao Ran not have to force it, just come back. He will find a way to personally fetch the essence blood of the Xuanjia Turtle for Zhao Ran.

It feels really good to have the backing of the master, Zhao Ran rushed to Qingcheng Mountain on an old donkey, this trip is extremely important to him, once he can make up the essence yuan, his cultivation path will be much smoother.

Zhao Ran left the bustling mountain pass. Turning around the foot of the mountain to the southwest side, according to the guidance of the teacher Jiang Tenghe, I drilled into a dense forest, found a clear stream, and went down the stream.

I don't know how many mountains I climbed, and gradually entered the valley of the clouds. Zhao Ran carefully identified the direction, and finally came to a towering cliff.

Zhao Ran raised his head a lot, and felt that the appearance of this cliff was similar to what the teacher said, so he got off the donkey's back and patted the donkey's head: "Brother donkey." Is this Qingyun Peak?"

The old donkey tilted his head sideways and looked left and right, but he couldn't see why, snorted, and began to look down at the grass under his hooves, and from time to time rolled up a few big chews.

Zhao Ran took out the flying talisman name post sent by the Jade Emperor Pavilion, and with a flick of his finger, the name post turned into a little white light, and suddenly disappeared into the cliff in the clouds. He nodded. Looks like this is it.

Suddenly, a Taiji Yin and Yang Gate swirled out of the clouds, and a Taoist priest came out of the door. The Dao crown on the top of his head is very strange, crooked on his head with only two inches of short hair, and he can't tie up his bun, which looks very awkward.

Zhao Ran felt that this Taoist priest looked very familiar, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then immediately suddenly. Smiled and asked, "Monk?"

The Taoist priest smiled and nodded, "Senior Brother Zhao is here...... Poor Oriental salute. ”

Zhao Ran touched the taste. Busy Ji said: "Could it be Senior Brother Dongfang's...... Belch...... Senior brother?"

It's a peculiar name, but it's a fitting fit. Dongfang Li smiled and said, "Exactly...... Senior Brother Zhao has worked hard from afar, please go into the mountains to drink tea. ”

Zhao Ran led the old donkey into the mountain, and when his eyes were neutral, he reflected a magnificent scene of the fairy family. The towering mountain peaks can not be seen to the top, and around the mountainside are majestic palaces, in which the golden bridge rises up, the jade belt is entangled, and it appears and disappears in the clouds and mist, and exudes colorful light in the sun.

It's magnificent!

Zhao Ran raised his neck and looked at the ten-zhang high gate in front of him, and not only blurted out: "Jade Emperor Fang?"

Dongfang Li said: "Not bad. The Jade Emperor Pavilion created the ancestor who was born as the Jade Emperor, the same as Zhao's junior brother. He pointed to the top in the distance and said, "On the top of the mixed yuan is the Jade Emperor Palace." ”

"Mixed Yuan Ding?" Zhao Ran looked around, only to see that at the highest peak, layers of jade and white stone steps appeared in the clouds and mist, and above the stone steps, there were cornices protruding, but they were blocked by the clouds and mist, and they couldn't see it really.

Dongfang Li took Zhao Ran across the Xuanyu Golden Bridge, walked to the left side of the foothills, bypassed several courtyards, and in front of him was a bamboo forest, surrounded by several circles of bamboo houses, which looked very elegant.

"This is the Yunshui room in the pavilion, and the monks who receive orders from all directions ......" Dongfang Li pointed to one of them and said, "Senior brother, do you want to rest?"

Zhao Ran shook his head: "I'm not tired, I don't know that the pavilion summoned me to ......"

"Sit down and talk. ”

Behind a row of green bamboos is a small pavilion, which is on the edge of a cliff with a bubbling spring. Entering it, looking around, you can see that the sun is obliquely shining, and the mountains are gilded, which really seems to be set up in a void.

Dongfang Li flipped his wrist, and there was an extra set of tea sets on the stone table in the pavilion, he picked up the teapot and turned behind him, and took a pour of spring water from the cliff outside the pavilion. The teapot was half a foot higher than the stone table, and Dongfang Li took a fan from the tea set, shook it gently, and a flame appeared out of thin air under the teapot.

One person was filled with tea, and Dongfang Li said softly: "Senior brother, please." ”

The two drank together, and Zhao Ran only felt a fragrance soaking his heart and spleen. Looking at the magnificent mountain scenery under the pavilion, the heart turns out that this is a fairy-like day!

"I don't know where Senior Brother Dongfang is?" Zhao Ran had nothing to say.

"He's delayed, he'll visit you later. ”

After drinking two glasses, Dongfang said: "This is the second time you and I have met, and the last time was in Changning Valley." You may wonder who I am...... To tell you the truth, I went to Xia Kingdom twenty years ago and joined Tianlong Academy, and I didn't return to Daming until last month. I didn't have time to go back to Qingcheng, so I was entrusted with a tribute to inspect the inner body of Buddhism, you see that my hair hasn't grown yet, hehe......"

"Hehe......" Zhao Ran laughed twice with him, and said in his heart.

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhao knows Uncle Cai?"

"Uncle Cai?"

"Senior Uncle Cai Yunshen. ”

"Oh, Master Cai......"

Dongfang Li smiled and waved his hand: "The pavilion is full of cultivators, not like the jungle of the ten directions, you and I have our own opinions, in fact, you can call him Uncle Cai, of course, if Uncle Cai doesn't mind, you and him have no objections, and he has no opinion on calling Senior Brother Cai, and I will have no opinion with Salute." ”

"Well, Uncle Cai and I met last year, when I was preaching in Junshan, the new Junshan Temple, and I needed to invite the gods to the temple, and Uncle Cai came for this...... Because I have a little experience in the formation, I am quite appreciated by Uncle Cai, and he can be regarded as a lot of support for me. ”

"You are polite, Uncle Cai is full of praise for you, saying that he has been inspired by you a lot in the formation. ”

"That's Uncle Cai's love. I don't know how he's been lately? This time I came to the Jade Emperor Pavilion, I still want to pay a visit to him. ”

"Uncle Cai is very good, he just came back from Beiminghai...... He found the turtle and brought back some of the turtle's blood. He has always been obsessed with you, saying that he wants to make up for you Jingyuan, so he invited you here. ”

Although he had already known about this before, when Dongfang Li confirmed it himself, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel his heart pounding-this thing was so useful to him, it could save several years of cultivation work, what was the most important thing for a monk? There is no doubt that it was time!

The longevity of a low-level monk is actually not much different from that of a mortal, the difference is only that it is healthier. Under the same conditions, if an ordinary person can live to be fifty or sixty years old, then a low-ranking monk will only be sixty or seventy years old. Only after refining the golden pill and entering the mage realm will Shou Yuan have a substantial improvement.

If there are no accidents, the Mage Realm can usually easily live past the age of eighty, the Master Shouyuan is between the ages of ninety and one hundred, the cultivators of the Refiner Realm can generally live one hundred and twenty years old, and the Great Refiner Realm can easily cross the threshold of one hundred and forty years old. As for the real person or the Heavenly Master Realm, the longevity can be as long as one hundred and eighty years old, while the Great True Person or the Great Heavenly Master, two hundred years old or above is not a problem at all, and some masters of the Dao Realm can even survive to three hundred years old!

Therefore, the essence of every step on the path of cultivation is to grab time!

If he can make up for Jing Yuan, Zhao Ran can enter the Yushi Realm three or four years in advance, and the significance of the three or four years saved is beyond doubt.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ran's breathing was rough. (To be continued)
